Preparing for the Inevitable

Executive Boardroom - 2:55 pm - 3:20 pm

Employees are consumers of digital technologies such as IoT, AR and VR and the plethora of mobile devices has enabled them to work flexibly. This has raised the bar on employee expectations for tools and capabilities from their employers. In order for companies to retain the best and get the most out of their employees, it is vital to design and continually update the digital workplace. While defense is mandatory, preparing for that inevitable data breach is very critical for organizations' survival. 

Takeaways:

• As the role of the CISO has evolved, senior leaders and board of directors are now becoming aware of the impact of data breaches to the organization and they look up to the CISO for guidance. 
• Cyber security responsibilities are also shifting and spreading as they are now part of Data Breach Response Teams. 
• Where do you start on data breach preparedness? Who should be involved in planning? How frequent do we need to test or do exercises? Do we involve government agencies? Do we get retainer services? Do we need to hire someone? How much money do we allocate?
